Comparing Excel and Access is like comparing Batman and Superman. Each has their die-hard fans and each can accomplish much of the same but in slightly different ways. Each has their own strengths and weaknesses. Most likely, you can get by with one or the other without running into too many issues. But, for the sake of exploration, let's see how the two compare.
Personally, I've done more work with Excel than Access. I'm also more of a Superman fan than a Batman fan. So Excel will be Superman and Access will be Batman. Excel can do quite a bit. It's true that it is best for more straightforward data management: lists, calculations, spreadsheets, summaries, and more static data. This is how Superman takes care of business. Fly in, boom bang and he's done.
The East is much more difficult to navigate and you could end up feeling more discouraged than delighted. After all, areas of East Berlin can be a little sketchy, under-developed, and boring to the eyes of a tourist. However, the farther west you go, the sights and quality of life increase. The center (which does include a respectable chunk of East Berlin) is a thriving hub of excitement. The west is beautiful and full of interesting, historic, and impressive sights.
So it all depends on what you want. Consider what type of information you would be working on. For example, if you just need a worksheet to keep records of previous sale data, you will probably want to go with Excel. If you need organized lists of names, dates, addresses, phone numbers, etc., Excel is a great resource for that. It is direct, organized, smart, and customizable.
Even if you don't care about seeing traditional tourist sites and would prefer to wander the streets and discover hidden treasures, you should find out which areas have good transport, safe streets, and always know your way back to your hotel or hostel.
Either way it's a good idea to know what this feature has to offer. There are so many types of graphs that you can create within Microsoft Excel. It's your job to sort through all these options and figure out the ones that are most practical for the purpose you need to have them serve. In some instances, you could very well get away with having no graph at all. It all depends on the demands of the project you have before you.
So when you are trying to decide which program you want to use think, who would I call upon to save me from this statistical mess? Batman? Or Superman? Also consider which program you or your co-workers are more comfortable with. If you know Excel like the back of your hand and know that it can get the job done, go for it.
Even if Access is more ideal for that kind of project, it's fine to stick with what you know. But if you like efficiency and learning new things, take a course from Microsoft Training Kuwait and get your Microsoft Certification Kuwait for both programs!
